Wireless Watchdogs

Wireless Watchdogs is the entry level managed mobility service, built for companies with a few hundred devices and nobody watching the wireless bill. The Los Angeles area firm has run corporate mobile programs since 2001 and was acquired in 2021 by a national managed IT provider, which is the point for many buyers: a company that already outsources IT support can add mobile strategy, procurement and provisioning, deployment, device management and security, an unlimited help desk, monitoring and reporting, wireless expense management, and end of life handling under the same roof. At acquisition it reported several hundred clients and more than a hundred thousand devices under management. Pricing is a flat monthly fee per device, which finance teams prefer to a percentage that moves with the bill. The boundaries are clear. It manages phones and tablets, not circuits or cloud, the original team is small inside a large private equity backed parent, and there is no analyst report to lean on. For a smaller company with a managed IT relationship already in place, it is the pragmatic way to put an adult in charge of the mobile estate.
